Hi !
Here is a quick comparison between the Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555X and the Fractal Audio FM3 Brit Silver model.
Can you guess which is the real TUBE amp and which is the DIGITAL ???
I will drop the answer soon !
BUT :
First of all : This is NOT a video about which is better or worse...To me they are both great TOOLS and depending on the live gig , I will choose which rig to use Second : I did NOT spend more than 5 min dialling in the Fractal AMP...it sounds great in my ears and extremely close to the real TUBE amp....If really necessary,
I could get closer in details BUT that was not my goal with this video. The Marshall 2555X just arrived today so I wanted to show how well the Brit Silver sounded !
For studio recording my preference goes to the real tube amp
Just because somehow the "Feel & Response " is different ....
Routing Real Tube Amp : Gibson ES335 Translucent Brown - Fractal Audio FM3 (Tubescreamer) - Marshall Silver Jubilee - Suhr Reactive Load - Fractal Audio FM3 with ML PR75 SM75-R121 Mix (Speaker Impulse) - Plex Delays - RME Fireface 800 Audio Interface - Logic X
Routing Fractal Audio FM3: Gibson ES335 Translucent Brown - Tubescreamer - Brit Silver AMP - CAB with ML PR75 SM75-R121 Mix - Plex Delays - RME Fireface 800 Audio Interface - Logic X
All the settings are the same in both presets.....
